       3. The display panel according to  claim 1 , wherein for the sub-pixel row in which the polarities of the display signals inputted to some sub-pixels among the sub-pixels having the same color are different: polarities of display signals inputted to some two adjacent sub-pixels are the same, and polarities of display signals inputted to remaining two adjacent sub-pixels are different. 
     
     
       4. The display panel according to  claim 1 , wherein the display panel further comprises:
 a plurality of data lines, 
 wherein one column of sub-pixels is disposed between any two adjacent data lines, sub-pixels located in an odd row are electrically connected to an adjacent data line on the right side, and sub-pixels located in an even row are electrically connected to an adjacent data line on the left side. 
 
     
     
       5. The display panel according to  claim 4 , wherein polarities of display signals inputted to at least some two adjacent data lines are opposite. 
     
     
       6. The display panel according to  claim 1 , wherein the display panel further comprises:
 a plurality of data lines; and 
 a frame area surrounding the display area; 
 wherein the plurality of data lines are electrically connected to the sub-pixels;

 the multiplexers are configured to input, in a time-sharing manner, display signals inputted by the data buses, to the plurality of data lines that are correspondingly connected with the multiplexers, and input the display signals to the sub-pixels via the data lines, to enable the polarities of the display signals inputted to some sub-pixels among the sub-pixels having the same color in the at least one row of the plurality of sub-pixels, to be different. 
 
     
     
       7. The display panel according to  claim 6 , wherein
 when the display panel comprises a first multiplexer with a first structure, a ratio of a quantity of outputting ends of to a quantity of inputting ends of a the first multiplexer is a first ratio; 
 when the display panel comprises a second multiplexer with any other structure different from the first structure, a ratio of a quantity of outputting ends of to a quantity of inputting ends of a the second multiplexer is a second ratio; 
 the first ratio is different from the second ratio, and a quantity of data buses included in a first cycle unit corresponding to the first multiplexer is different from a quantity of data buses included in a second cycle unit corresponding to the second multiplexer, the first multiplexer and the second multiplexer are any two of the multiplexers; and 
 each cycle unit comprises a plurality of data buses, and polarity reversal manners of display signals in the data buses in different cycle units are the same. 
 
     
     
       8. The display panel according to  claim 7 , wherein the first ratio or the second ratio is inversely related to the a quantity of data buses included in a cycle unit corresponding to the each multiplexer.
